Types of trapezoids


The trapezoid is a quadrilateral polygon, which has two opposite parallel sides and two non-parallel opposite sides. The parallel sides are the biggest and smallest bases. There are three types of trapezoids: rectangle, isosceles and scalene. Below you can learn more about each of these types of trapezoids.
